dalapathi Posted March 2, 2015 Report Posted March 2, 2015 I heart Lara The world's fastest cricket fan, Usain Bolt, on his favourite bowler, top batsman, and best cricket ground What is it about cricket that attracts you? I grew up watching my dad watch cricket on TV all day and I just fell in love with the spirit of the game. Growing up, was there a cricketer you wanted to be? Waqar Younis was my favourite cricketer. I was a fast bowler, so I liked his pace and style of bowling. I considered myself a very good fast bowler when I was young, and my inswinger always got wickets. Which batsman did you try to imitate? We learnt the fundamentals of the game in primary school. I was taught how to bat by my Physical Education teacher. I truly loved watching Brian Lara: the poise, style and class he displayed was priceless. What is your favourite stroke? And what is one you would like to learn to play? The cover drive. I need to practise my reverse sweep. What is your all-time favourite cricket moment? Watching Brian Lara score 400 runs and Courtney Walsh becoming the leading Test wicket-taker. Which is the best cricket ground to sit in and watch cricket? Cricket in the Caribbean is always high-energy. Especially a one-day match at Sabina in Kingston. I hope to go to a cricket World Cup final one day. Do you have a suggestion to revive West Indies cricket? I would say to the players: reach out to the greats of the past and have conversations with them about how they rose to the top while working on the core principles of their game. http://www.thecricketmonthly.com/story/824283
